The IUB Biology Emergency Fund is open to graduate students with a declared major from IUB Biology and who are in critical “financial emergency” situations for which no other grant funds are available.

Small amount of funding available for graduate students. Contact IU Biology Director of Graduate Studies or department chair who, in turn, will contact Associate Dean Padraic Kenney with a description of your circumstances and the amount of financial need. These requests will be reviewed and funds will be disbursed based on urgency of need.

International students can apply for hardship assistance, which is disbursed through student Bursar accounts. Typical award: $500–$2,000. Find information on the OIS financial aid options page; scroll down to "Hardship Assistance."

Get help through the IU Student Advocates Office with unexpected expenses. Usually limited to $500.
